Squamanita paradoxa, commonly known as powdercap strangler, is a species of fungus in the Tricholomataceae family. It is a parasitic fungus that grows as a gall on another fungus, Cystoderma amianthinum.[3] The species was first described as Cystoderma paradoxum by American mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Rolf Singer in 1948, based on specimens collected in Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon.[4] Cornelis Bas transferred the species to the genus Squamanita in 1965.[5] In 2011, it was reported from Worcestershire, UK.[3]
